If Italy had realised that the England set-piece was so fragile earlier they could have won. Remind me who coaches the Eng U20 forwards?

Why have a TMO when they have all the time in the world to check and help the ref make the right decision - Wales played well and took their chances but the last try was certainly a forward pass - Q - any reason why I cannot and he didn't check the final pass just the finish - why have one at all if they are not going to do the job - they have to be better than this - 5 pts could have a big influence at the end of the comp.

So the Welsh had a lot of injuries? (Where have I heard this before?) They had a lot of stars missing? Yet they rode their luck, took their chances, played as a team, to a level greater than the sum of their parts and won?

How? They were well coached and well prepared perhaps?

Big congratulations to Warren Gatland and his coaching team - that game was won before it even started , brilliant game plan and brilliantly executed from an exceptional group of players ... this could be one of the best 6 nations ever

Wales were one step above poor at best. Just lucky that Scotland were much worse.

Scotland were diabolical, Finn Russell deserves a public flogging, Never been a fan of Townsend, Cockers to replace him, anyone?

The French would have him straight off for a HIA.
